Electronic Communications Related Turnover (ECRT)
Definition
ECRT is to be considered to include the proportion of revenues from ICT products and services (as defined in the EC 'Framework' Directive) that depend on deliverables developed by ETSI, and the previous work of CEPT, in the past and/or currently under development.
Declaration of ECRT
When considering what ECRT to declare, members should take into consideration the entire range of technologies and services being standardized by ETSI as reflected by the actual work being carried out by the Technical Organization and its Work Programme.
The Rules of Procedure, Annex 2, clause 6f) state that 'Members should take reasonable care to ensure that the declared ECRT covers all business units of their company that intend to participate in ETSI activities.'
Participants may represent the part of a corporate group that is included within the scope of the corresponding ECRT assessment.
In the case where the member's ECRT is not able to be determined from publicly available information, the member will agree with the Director-General on the appropriate class of contribution which should apply.
In the event that a member is not able to declare its ECRT and is not willing to agree with the Director-General on the appropriate class of contribution which should apply then it shall be assigned the highest class of contribution, i.e. 45 units.
